 vtevvof the State House question. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The State House on the upper Green holds the best, most beautiful and commanding situation in our city. It is not 30 old as the churches on the same Green by fifteen years Like them it renders sacred this consecrated, beautiful ground, dear to the memory oi every resident and visitor to our city. Its architect was Ithiel Towne, of this city. He has no superior in his grand profession. The Trinity and Center churches we proudly point to as proofs of his taste, skill and worldwide celebrity. The State House walls have firm, strong foundation, solid concrete of East Haven red stone three feet thick braced by cross walls of solid masonry from the ground to the caves. It is useful build ing for every good purpose: The $25, 900 re: pairs voted last year should be at once laid p1t mon it. It would then be the pride oi our city, State and nation.
